STOVE POLISHIN G MI'ETEN.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Nnnnrn Mar Srnrno HORN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Blue Point, in the county of Sufiolk and State of New York, have in vented a new and Improved Stove-Polish e re-blacking for some time, and to readily pieces folded back remove water, grease spots and other extraneous matter, thus keeping the stove clean and nice for a long time and without danger of rusting. For the purpose mentioned, use is made of a rubber mitten, a bag held detachably on the inner face of the said mitten and filled with a. dry polishing powder, and removable superimposed rubbing pieces of cloth following the shape of the said bag, thelatter and the said rubbing pieces being of a comparatively loosely woven fabric ,material to permit the dry powder in the bag to work through the meshes of the fabric to the outermost rubbing piece to be rubbed onto the stove surface when using the mitten for polishing purposes. t

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.

Figure 1 is a face view of the stove polishing mitten with portions of theirubbing and part of the bag broken out; and Fig. 2 is a sectional side pieces D, D,

elevation of the same.

The stove polishin' mitten consists essentially of a mitten preferably made of rubber or a similar material impervious to a dry powder, a bag B containing the dry polishing powderC and a series of rubbing 1D superimposed one upon the other and following the bag B, which in turn is arranged on the inner face of the mitten A. The bag B and the rubbing D are made ;of a fabric ma so that-the powder can be face 0f the stove with .a'

Specification or} letters Patent.

view to polish the same and to remove water, grease spots and other extraneous mat-' ter. The bag B as well as the rubbing pieces D, D, D follow the shape of the mitten A at the sides and forward end thereof, the

mitten being preferably provided 'with thumbs-on opposite sides to permit of using the mitten on either hand.

' The bag B and the rubbing pieces D, D,

D are preferably removably fastened in position on the mitten A and for this purpose use is made (if a lacing E passing through registering eyelets F arranged along the sides and forward margin of the mitten A, the bag B and the rubbing pieces D, D, D

By the arrangement described the outermost rubbing piece D in case of being worn, may be readily removed so as to permit using-the next following rubbing piece as the one coming in contact with the stove surface, or the outermost rubbing piece if burned out can be replaced by a new one, it being understood that by the 'use of -a number of superimposedrubbing pieces the passage of the powder from the bag to the outermost'surface is retarded to preventtoo much of the powder from working through to the outer surface of the outermost layer.

The bag B is normally closed at the wrist end by sewing, which can be readily opened to permit of refilling the bag with anew quantity of the powder whenever it is deemed necessary.

An insulating material G, such as abbestos'in sheet or loose form, is preferably interposed between the bag'B and the mitten A so as toprotect the hand and the rubber mitten from the heat incident to using the stove polishing mitten on a hot stove.

From the foregoing it will be seen that by the arrangement described a stove after being blackened in the usual manner can be readily polished .by the user rubbing the mitten with the outer face of the outermost rubbing piece D in contact with the stove. It is further understood that by using a mitten A of rubber the hand is protected against being soiled by the polishing powder C and the hand is also protected from the heat of'the stove by the interposed insulating material G. v Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent: r,

1. A stove polishing mitten, comprising a mitten impervious to polish powder, abag filled with a. polishing. powder and overly- --ing the inner face of the mitten, a rubbin piece overlyingthe outer face of the sai bag, and means for detachably fastening the said bag and rubbing piece vto the said mitten, the said bag and rubbing piecebemg made of a fabric material woven sufilciently loosely to permit the powder in. the bag to work. through to the outer face of the rubbing-Kiece.
